With Christmas only a few days away, we were reminiscing at Aria Rose on our favorite holiday traditions, some big, some small. Some traditions we shared in common and others seemed like a great idea to start. 

HERE ARE OUR FAVORITE TRADITIONS:

Lauren: Owner

My favorite Christmas tradition is honestly just being with my family and being "clocked out" from work. I love watching Elf with my parents on either Christmas Eve once everyone leaves or on Christmas Day. My mom always brings home tamales, too, which are so delicious! Now that I have a niece and a nephew, I love having them over to open the presents that Santa brought them. Oh, and my mom and I ALWAYS watch Hallmark movies during Christmas (sorry, dad). 

Tatiana: Online Fulfillment Manager 

I always enjoy having a late dinner and staying up until midnight on Christmas Eve and gathering around the tree to celebrate Christmas. 

Kaylee: Communications and Influencer Manager 

My favorite holiday tradition growing up was baking sugar cookies with my family and friends. We had this tradition since as long as I can remember. My mom always let me invite friends over to also take part in the baking, decorating and of course eating. We always had so much fun. I looked forward to it every holiday season.

Jennifer: Digital Content Creator

My Christmas tradition has always been eating the Noche Buena leftovers and then taking a family drive around the city. This year Christmas will look a bit different since I'll be spending it in my country, the Dominican Republic.

Every Christmas Eve my family and I sit around the tv and watch a Christmas movie right at midnight. My favorite Christmas movie is National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. This is a tradition we have done forever and I NEVER want it to end. 

Elly: Sales Associate

The week leading up to Christmas my family and I do a gingerbread house decorating competition. It gets pretty intense! Then on Noche Buena we stay up till midnight to open gifts. 

Sommer: Sales Associate

I love waking up super early to open up gifts with my family. After that, we go back to sleep. Once we all wake up, we make a delicious Christmas brunch.
